Ukraine rep. to UN Melnyk: Russia murders civilians. They strike ambulances, emergency personnel and firefighters. Between March 30th-April 13th, Russia launched over 3600 strike UAVs, 1350 guided bombs and more than 40 missiles against Ukraine, killing at least 70 civilians. 1/
Melnyk: Russia does not control more than 20% of the Donetsk region territory. This is pure blackmail. Russia demands Ukraine to abandon one of the most heavily fortified and logistically developed defensive lines. 2/
Melnyk: We must not forget that beyond these fortifications there are cities and villages where Ukrainians live. How can we leave hundreds of thousands of these people?

Musee de Romanite - The archeological museum of Nîmes is located in a modern building finished in 2018 with a 360 rooftop to view the city. The museum contains finds from the Gallic, Roman and Medieval period! Small thread 🧵
Gallic sculptures from the VII-Vth century BC, still a very different style from later Roman examples.
Roman mosaics!
Arles / Arelate - Roman colony founded by Caesar in 46 BCE. The city became an important hub with an amphitheatre, theatre, forum, circus, and even its own productive mint! In later periods the city shrank. Nevertheless the city contains noteworthy Romanesque remains - Thread 🧵
Amphitheatre (70-80 AD) - built slightly before the one in Nîmes both in the Flavian period. Arles still has some structural problems that are fixed in Nîmes. This includes the lack of a barrel vault but instead stone slabs that collapse because of the pressure on the galleries.
The towers were added in the middle ages on each of the cardinal directions (one is lost) when the arena was transformed into a fortress.

I just lost everything to a social engineering scam.
People that I had been in contact with for months invited me to a small circle of investors - a group that got access to early seed rounds.
They infected my PC & had me move funds to vulnerable wallets.

Here's what happened:
I had spoken on and off for months with a person called "Seenthereum" about alpha, opportunities, etc.
He would tell me time to time about an investment group he was in that got early access to polymarket investments and other projects at lower valuations before TGEing.

Eventually he was supposedly involved with one that caught my interest.
He invited me to be a part of this group called "Flur". It was maybe 50 people max. All interacting daily. Even spoke to the leader.
For this first investment, I was able to allocate up to a certain amount.

1/ Let me start with an uncomfortable truth that most people avoid thinking about.
If you died tomorrow, what happens to your family financially?
Not emotionally — we know that's devastating. I mean practically. Who pays rent? Who pays school fees? Who puts food on the table?
Most families in Kenya are one funeral away from financial collapse. That's not dramatic. That's reality.

2/ Here's another truth that stings even more.
Most of us will work 30-40 years, save diligently, invest in unit trusts, buy land, build rentals — and we'll still never accumulate enough liquid cash to leave our families truly financially secure.
Assets are great. But when someone dies, families need cash — immediately. Not land in Kitengela that takes 2 years to sell. Not shares that need probate.
Cash.
That's the gap whole life insurance fills. And nothing else fills it quite the same way.

I built a site with 200+ works of Reformed theology, Latin works translated into English for the first time, and a personal library you can search with AI.
You shouldn't need a PhD and a research library to read Zanchi. The sources belong to the church.

Doctoral work meant reading 300 books but I remembered maybe a third of what mattered.
My system was marginal notes, highlights, and phone pictures of pages I meant to remember. In other words, incredibly clunky.
I figure there had to be a better way. So I built one.

The Southern Poverty Law Center says it is under "criminal investigation" for its paid informant program😲
Journalists like me have long expected SPLC might have cultivated informants, but this explicit confirmation is new.

Bryan Fair, the SPLC's CEO, was kind enough to mention my congressional testimony in his video. He also mentioned my exclusive on @FBIDirectorKash separating the FBI from the SPLC last year.

As a piece of damage control, Fair's announcement is very interesting.
He acknowledges that SPLC paid informants to monitor "extremely violent groups." He claims this program is over. He frames it in terms of the civil rights movement and the 1984 bombing of SPLC HQ.
